Quotes & Awards

“Benoit is at the top of his game in his witty third novel…Benoit’s good guys have their faults and the bad guys have surprising virtues, leaving room for lots of unusual twists and turns. The lovingly rendered exotic locale is the perfect setting for this rough and rollicking story of adventure and romance.”

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“This is a very good thriller, excitingly written with well-drawn characters, dialogue that rings true, and a story that’s suspenseful and tragic.”

Booklist

“A tense and efficient cat-and-mouse mystery.”

" The Thai woman a little too "Wise Asian" (although I agreed with her); the hero a shade too gullible for someone with his background; the ending very tidily delivered with a bow.
